PARTITION BY是分析的，GROUP BY是聚合的。为了使用PARTITION BY，你必须用OVER子句来包含它。

它们被用在不同的地方。GROUP BY修改整个查询，比如:

select customerId, count(*) as orderCount
from Orders
group by customerId

但是PARTITION BY只适用于窗口函数，比如ROW_NUMBER():

select row_number() over (partition by customerId order by orderId)
    as OrderNumberForThisCustomer
from Orders

GROUP BY通常减少滚动返回的行数 他们计算每行的平均值或总和。 PARTITION BY不影响返回的行数，但是它 更改窗口函数结果的计算方式。

分区并不会实际卷起数据。它允许您在每个组的基础上重置一些东西。例如，通过对分组字段进行分区并对组中的行使用rownum()，可以获得组中的序数列。这使您的行为有点像在每个组的开头重置的标识列。

小的观察。使用“partition by”动态生成SQL的自动化机制相对于“group by”要简单得多。对于“group by”，我们必须注意“select”列的内容。

对不起，我的英语不好。
